And GO!
but how does drinking tie in to it?
also, I really hope we get to Hurricane Otto.
It's a hurricane! You should be drinking anyway, no need for a game!
But I say if you had to...
Every 3 hour advisory, take a drink, regardless.
For every mention of the word "millibar" take a drink.
For every fluctuation in wind strength from the previous advisory, take a drink.
If it jumps UP a category, take two drinks.
If it falls back a category, take one drink.
For every yokel they show on the Weather Channel boarding their house, drink the cheapest beer you have in house.
For every shot of Stephanie Abrams doing something stupid (holding onto a lamp post, getting hit with ridiculous wind, and falling over, etc), take 3 drinks.
For every shot of Jim Cantore being awesome and somehow getting less battered than Abrams, take a drink.
If Abrams or Cantore make it to your home town or within 50 miles of, and covers an oncoming storm, drink the whole fucking bottle.
In the event of a direct hit, fill your bathtub with booze and ice and invite your friends over.
A proper Hurricane:
1 oz light rum
1 oz dark rum
2 oz passion-fruit juice
1 oz orange juice
1/2 grenadine syrup
A squeeze of limes

Just a few notes:
1. Cram now has control of Hurricane Earl, as he put a mustache on it
2. Florida is tropical and depressing.
3. Unkown to most Americans, Fidel Castro ordered a motor to be attached to Cuba, it was installed earlier this year, now Cuba can move out of the way of tropical storms.
Edit: to fix img tags
Waitaminnit.

Fixed.
Also: :lulz:
Suu your face is on Fall River. You're probably going to want to wash that vigorously and get it checked out very soon.
It was either the South Shore or Eastern CT, and you know how I feel about CT...
This is fucking hilarious.
Also, Florida will not be touched for the exact reason Rumckle said- we ARE tropical and depressing.

Me too, good punning potential.
Also, looks like Earl might be paying a visit to Maine. I imagine this would cancel my daughter's soccer game.
